Today's walk - second Saturday of each month. The second youngest found the Banded Matchflower on the ground - the flower had fallen from the rare mistletoe above us.

After a couple of weeks' absence, I went into the reserve and encountered first this Yellow-bellied Greenbul. I heard calls of Klaas's and Diderik Cuckoos, and earlier the call of a Grey-headed Bush=Shrike.

A fuzzy image, but my first Narina Trogon for about four years in Pigeon Valley, so I was very happy! Earlier, two birders saw this and two Spotted Ground-Thrushes at the top of the stormwater drain, and I was interacting with our regular Spotted Ground-Thrush on the other side of the reserve.
